Jeff Sams (left), chief bridge inspector for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and Josh Rogers, project manager for Ohio River bridge inspections for the cabinet, look over points to tie off on the north pier of the Roebling Suspension Bridge before rappelling from the pier to inspect it. The bridge is closed until 3:30 p.m. Wednesday for an inspection. A piece of sandstone from the pier fell off earlier this year prompting the inspection, said Nancy Wood, spokesperson of the transportation cabinet.
